Method

Heat oven to 230C/fan 210C/gas 8. Drizzle
a little sunflower oil evenly into 2 x 4-hole Yorkshire
pudding tins or a 12-hole non-stick muffin
tin and place in the oven to heat through.

To make the batter, tip 140g plain flour into a bowl and beat in four eggs until smooth. Gradually add 200ml milk and carry on beating until the mix is completely lump-free. Season with salt
and pepper. Pour the batter into a jug, then
remove the hot tins from the oven. Carefully
and evenly pour the batter into the holes.
Place the tins back in the oven and leave
undisturbed for 20-25 mins until the
puddings have puffed up and browned.
Serve immediately. You can now cool them
and freeze for up to 1 month.

I used this recipe to make toad in the hole - and it was the best one I have ever made. I think the secret was not opening the oven door as it rose and cooked perfectly, we all loved it and it was a lovely filling cheap meal

I shall look no further for a yorkies recipe... My mum is an excellent cook but my first ever attempt at these and I just sent her a picture and she was blown away as they beat her tried and tested recipe! Perfect looking and tasting. I found they only needed 15 in the over... They were starting to burn so any longer and it would have been too long!

Before yesterday I was a 24 year old Yorkshire woman (born on Yorkshire Day, to boot) and had never made Yorkshire puddings!
Didn't need to make 24, so made with 46g flour, 2 eggs and about 70ml of milk. Twenty minutes on the bottom shelf and they turned out absolutely perfect! And I still managed to make 12!

Great recipe, makes perfect Yorkshire puds. My Yorkshires have always turned out like cakes but now ive mastered it! Ive given this recipe to my family & friends. This will be the way I make Yorkshires from now on.

Tried these today for the first time and 4 eggs was too much very eggy and doughy. Tried another batch with 2 eggs and a third just egg white and it worked a treat! Oh and don't put them on the top shelf they rise a lot!!

Hey, there. I'm an American cook, and had to convert measurements and oven temperatures, but had to say that this is an awesome recipe for Yorkshire puddings. I love eating them, but didn't know that they were this easy to make. My best friend's parents are from North Cumberland (Umbria?), and his mom makes really good ones, but I don't want to drive and hour and a half each way to get some. In any case, even with guesstimating, these turned out great. Also, the tips were very helpful.

Had to comment on these as I've never had much luck with Yorkshire puds. Follow the recipe and it won't let you down...so easy and amazing results. So happy with them, they're going in the freezer ready for Christmas. One thing ticked off the list!

These are amazing I found the quantities to be just right. Make sure you definitely don't open the oven door though as I did and they shrank a bit. Always bought frozen ones in the past but am now converted and making them again today with roast chicken - yum!!!

Made these for the first time a couple of weeks ago and they are amazing! Found the quantities to be just right. Make sure you definitely don't open the oven door though as I did and they shrank a bit. Have always used frozen in the past but converted to these lovely ones now and making again today with roast chicken - yum!!!
